T3101? forming part of Letters Patent No. 676,560, dated. June 18, 1901.

Application filed September 19, 1900. Serial No. 80,491. (No modcll) .To all 1071/0722 it may concern:

Be itknown thatl, DAVIDIM.JACO1iS,fl.Citlzen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, in the county and. State of New York, have in vented certain new and use ful Improvements in Display-Racks for "loss or Similar Articles, of which the following is a specification. I

My invention relates to display-racks for ties or similar articles.

It has for its object to provide new and improved supports for ties orsiinilarariiclos simple in construction, readily adjustable, and adapted to .hold and display the ties or other articles to advantage and to permit the with drawal of one or more of the ties or other artipics from certain apertures or compartments without displacing the other ties from proper position therein.

t consists of the novel devices herein shown and described.

n the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which similar reference figures represent corresponding parts, .i have shown my improved device in its preferred form, andi will now proceed to describe the same.

Figure l is a perspective view of a displayrack involving-myinvention. Figs 2, 8, and 4 are views of modified forms, and Fig. 5 is a View showing a modified form of comparttiguous ties went.

My improved device involves a rack l, which may he made by perforating a plate to form a series oi. preferably nearly rectangular apertures or compartments 2, four sides by the material comprising the plate and preferably completely closcd,so that each compartment has a floor 3, side walls 4- 4-, and a roof 5.

6 6 represent the ties. Only one shown in each compartment in Fig. 1, it being understood that any'suitahle number of ties 6 may he placed one over the other in. a corn partznen t. partmcnt are so arrangedthat when ties of the form shown are held in any compartment thewithdrawal of one will not withdraw con? by friction, since thefwidened part 7 will strike the side walls and offer is The bounding walls of the comsistance exceeding pull. drawn without especial care and yet without withdrawing others, and whatever the form ol the tie or of any or a great variety of articles which may be similarly displayed the thumb and finger while loosely holding the free-end. portion of any selected article may he quickly moved to the rack and then separated, thus pressing those above the selected one against the upper wall of the aperture and those below it against the lower wail, thereby leaving the selected article entirely free, while positively holding all the rest. It is clear that many diii erent articles may be passed around the comparatively nar *ow portions of the plate bounding one aperture, whereby they may readily be made to simulate fiowers or to take other ornamental forms.

1 preferably provide a support for the displayrack, which may he of any suitable form or construction. i prefer, however, the form any possible frictional It follows that any tie may be withshown in Fig. l, which consists of arms 8 8,

by cross-pieces 13 u pe a standard 14, on which standard said circular rack may he pivotal] y turned. The form of rack may be varied as desired. v

I prefer a rectangular shape for the con1- partuients, although any suitable shape may he employed. For cxanipie,-in Fig. 5 I have shown-the compartments as elliptical in shape.

What i claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

r 1. in a display-rack for necklies orsiinilar articles, the combination with a suitable support, of an approximately vertical plate carried by the support and provided with a se- In Fig". 1- the rack is, shown as circular or ring-shaped, supported ,ron

of articles above and ries of adjacent apertures bounded on .all four sides by the material of the plate and each adapted to receive a plurality of articles to be exhibited whereby the articles or masses below a selected one may be pressed against the corresponding sides of the aperture, leaving the given article free to be Withdrawn without materially displacing any other.

2. In a display-rack for neckties and the like, the combination With a vertical supporting-rod, of a whcel like structure revolubly supported at its center by said rod and having in its approximately vertical rim a series of adjacent apertures each atsome distance from the plates margins and each adapted to receive a plurality of the articles to be displayed; whereby any aperture may be brought to convenient position 'by rotation and the ties above and below a selected one may be pressed oppositely against the corresponding sides of the aperture and thus be held secure against material displacement while the intermediate one is iithdrawn.

3. In a display-rack for neckties and the like, the combination with a suitable support, of a plate revolubly carried in edgewise position by said support and provided with a series of adjacent apertures each having a boundary wall on all four sides and each adapted to receive a plurality of ties, whereby the plate being swung into convenient position a part of the ties in any aperture may be pressed against the upper side ofthe aperture and apart against the lonfer side, leaving any intermediate tie free.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

DAVID M. JACOBS.
